No, at most in the D-I errata I would say.
Proposed entry for d-i errata:
<dt>i386: Serial Console setup with GRUB</dt>
<dd>
There are some issues with the way the debian-installer tries to
setup GRUB to use a serial console. Full details can be found in the
bug report <a
href="http://bugs.debian.org/416310";>#416310</a>.
Briefly these issues can be resolved
by ensuring that:<br> (1) the "<tt>console=</tt>" kernel argument is passed
after the "<tt>--</tt>" kernel argument;<br> (2) that the parity and
bits options are
also passed in the "<tt>console=</tt>" definition. For most people
this will mean that
instead of booting with "<tt>console=ttyS0,9600</tt>" you should boot
with "<tt>--
console=ttyS0,9600n8</tt>".
